Synopsis:
This widely acclaimed masterpiece and must-see American epic features the Acadamy Award®-winning performance of Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Actor, 2007). Daniel Plainview and son are independent oil men, looking for prospects in California at the turn of the 20th century. They are challenged by a young preacher, Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), whose own ambition is matched by Plainview's. Their battle forms the centre of a scary, darkly-comic historical journey into an abyss of madness. "...a dark, uncompromising film, thrillingly original and distinctive, with a visionary passion. ... a movie against which all directors, and all moviegoers, will want to measure themselves."
